Aspects are directed to a wireless communications approach in which a signal is conveyed via one of a number of particular frequency bands. In one example, a tank circuit includes an inductor and multiple capacitive circuits, and a driver circuit includes multiple buffers. One of the buffers is responsive to the input signal and another of the buffers is not responsive to the input signal. The driver circuit is configured to drive the tank circuit through a respective capacitive circuit while coupled to a respective buffer at a node of the inductor. A tuning-drive circuit drives the tank circuit for communicating in one band of a selectably-tunable frequency range. The tuning-drive circuit includes selectable (buffer and capacitor) portions configured to selectively couple to the node, for an overall drive strength and an overall tuning capacitance, and for tuning the tank circuit to a selected frequency band for wireless communication.
